Not Rockey, it’s Rocky

The mayor’s chief aide and cousin, Carmela Datinguinoo, informed the Fortnightly that the official first name of the mayor of Puerto Galera is Rocky and not Rockey as has been used in correspondences since he was elected into public office 8 years ago. 

Mayor Rocky Ilagan served for 6 years as barangay captain of Sabang and now 2 years into office as mayor. He was Rockey before but ever since he needed official documents he used what is the written name in his birth certificate. To avoid confusion, it is advised to use Rocky from now on.
